Toilet Humour Taken A Step Too Far?

Whatever has happened within the plumbing is said to have left the smell of the Martial Arts room below much to be desired, and costing SUSU at least £5,000 in repairs.


On Thursday night, at a Medics party in The Cube, party goers may have smelled a sour stench in the air, some would say pungent upon the nostrils. The source of this smell was the unstable condition a few of the toilets had been left in, leaving them to overflow!

The Cube toilets are currently out of order

Although this may not be an uncommon sight at The Cube, one that probably irritates the cleaners more than anyone else, it has rendered the Martial Arts room below unusable until at least the end of term.

Whatever has happened within the plumbing is said to have left the smell of the Martial Arts room below much to be desired. With matters of hygiene and safety high on the agenda, the room has been placed out of action until the (expected) £5,000 repairs can be carried out.

Although the reason for the overflowing toilets has yet to be established, rumours have been circling of a few ‘revellers’ perhaps ‘teepeeing’ the cubicles resulting in toilet tissue clogging the drains.

However hearsay must not be taken literally as Teddy Wilkes, the AU President has stated when asked about the incident, “the toilets have flooded before, and will probably flood again” before adding that he did not know what had caused it.

In the mean time, martial arts clubs using the room have to use other rooms, something that Teddy has been overseeing.

For those spending a night out at The Cube, for now it should be recommended that one wears a pair of shoes that can withstand a small amount of spoilage, if the toilets are to resemble a night out at Jesters.
